QA teams generate far more than bug reports. Throughout development, they collect valuable information about production health, delivery risk and feature readiness, yet much of this insight never influences the decisions that shape a game's success. Drawing on experience across hundreds of game development projects, Mateusz Kałuża demonstrates how QA can evolve from a reactive testing function into a strategic source of production intelligence. The session explores practical ways to transform QA observations into actionable insight that supports planning, prioritization, resource allocation, and release confidence. Attendees will discover how better use of QA data strengthens collaboration between production, programming and leadership while helping studios make faster, more informed decisions throughout development.
Takeaway
Attendees will learn practical ways to transform QA reporting into production intelligence, identify metrics that improve decision-making, strengthen collaboration between QA and development teams, and demonstrate the strategic value of quality throughout the entire development lifecycle rather than only before release.
Intended Audience
Designed for QA leaders, producers, programming managers, development directors, project managers and studio leadership seeking to improve production visibility and decision-making. The session assumes a general understanding of modern game development but requires no specialist QA expertise.
